When you opened the .CSV file in Notepad (say), were those numbers in scientific
notation?

Or was it when you reopened the .csv file in excel.

And if it's just the format in excel, you could always just change the format of
that column(s) after you open the file.

I've imported a series of numbers and when I save it in csv format, it
changes the numbers to the scientific format unless it's under 10 digits.
I've tried converting to text, multipling by 1, but nothing seems to keep it
formatted as a number? Each time it looks like it will work, I save it and
reopen it, only to find the numbers converted to scientific format again.

I'm completely confused as to why it won't store it as a general number if
over ten digits?
